I am delighted to inform you that we at Woodland/Davis
Aeromodelers club have decided that all proceeds of Helicopter Scale
Masters will go to a local chapter for Autism Speaks.

Today, it is estimated that one in every 110 children is
diagnosed with autism, making it more common than childhood cancer,
juvenile diabetes and pediatric AIDS combined. An estimated 1.5 million
individuals in the U.S. and tens of millions worldwide are affected by
autism.

Government statistics suggest the prevalence rate of
autism is increasing 10-17 percent annually. There is not established
explanation for this increase, although improved diagnosis and
environmental influences are two reasons often considered. Studies
suggest boys are more likely than girls to develop autism and receive
the diagnosis three to four times more frequently. Current estimates are
that in the United States alone, one out of 70 boys is diagnosed with
autism.
